Itinerary

Your Morning, Hour by Hour

06:00 — Hotel Pick-Up
Your private guide meets you at your hotel, residence, or preferred pick-up point in Nairobi. After a short briefing, you depart for Nairobi National Park in a private vehicle with a pop-up roof.

06:30 – 10:00 — Morning Game Drive
A four-hour drive through Nairobi National Park’s open grassland, woodland, and seasonal wetland. Search for lion, black rhino, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, antelope, and hyena, with your guide narrating the park’s wildlife and conservation work throughout.

10:00 — Depart for the Elephant Orphanage
Exit the park for the short drive to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

10:40 – 12:00 — Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
Arrive in time for the daily public viewing. Watch rescued elephant calves during their feeding session and hear their individual rescue stories, alongside insight into the rehabilitation work that eventually returns them to the wild.

12:00 — Return Transfer
Your guide transfers you back to your hotel, residence, or preferred drop-off location, closing out the tour.

Signature Experiences

  • Rhino Ground Zero. Nairobi National Park is a designated black rhino sanctuary, and sightings here are among the most consistent in the country.
  • Feeding Time at Sheldrick. The daily public session at the elephant orphanage is timed to the calves’ feeding schedule — a narrow window most tourists miss.

Why Choose This Journey

  • Cover a full four-hour Big Five game drive and a world-famous conservation visit in one morning
  • Track black rhino in one of Kenya’s most dependable sanctuaries for the species
  • Time your elephant orphanage visit to land inside the daily public feeding session, not around it
  • Keep the rest of your day free — back at your hotel by noon
Frequently Asked Questions
  • No. This tour runs longer, extends the game drive, and adds a visit to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage — the half-day safari covers the park only.

  • No sighting in the wild is guaranteed, but Nairobi National Park is one of the more reliable places in Kenya to see one, and your guide prioritises known territory.

  • Yes. You share the vehicle only with your own travel party.

  • No. The tour concludes by around noon, before a lunch stop is needed.
